The words of a gallery name “Take Courage” are emblazoned on a wall behind him as he leaps from the bridge at the south London station and lands on the roof of the stationary train.

The man in a tracksuit hurls himself onto the train

Stunned spectators can be heard muttering “what is he doing?” as the figure in a tracksuit lands delicately on the train roof.

Passers by on the bridge seem unaware that the man has thrown himself off it.

The daredevil is then seen to rearrange himself and perch on the roof of the white Southeastern train.

Southeastern tweeted earlier in the morning to say that trains were being disrupted due to a trespass incident in the New Cross area.

Trains in and out of the station were subject to cancellations and delays throughout the day. Southeastern also said the power had to be switched off to the electrified rails at the station. The disruption also affected London Overground services which pass through the station.
